In order to support the sector and reduce the fund applications time The London Community Response Fund portal will allocate all emergency funds coming or managed by the London Community Foundation, and future funds coming from the London Funders members. This means if you apply through the portal your application may be assessed by many funders.

The programmes currently open are:

Crisis response – grants of up to £10,000 to help organisations meet the immediate and urgent needs of their communities. This could include food and essentials to equipment and any additional short-term staff costs.

Delivering Differently - grants of between £10,000 and £50,000 to enable organisations to change the way they deliver their work to continue to meet the changing needs of their communities. This could include switching to digital channels to redeploying staff to boost capacity at a time of increased need. Please note that this funding will pause for new applications at 5pm on 19 May. Crisis response funding will remain open.

You can apply for a maximum of 3 months of funding.

You can only apply for one grant in Wave 2 (for either a crisis response, or a delivering differently grant). If you received a grant in Wave 1 (food and essentials), you are able to apply again as part of Wave 2.

You can find the guidance and the application form below. If you need support with your bid please get in contact with us at info@thcvs.org.uk and we will happily review your bid.
